Letters: Jun. 25, 1984

In response to those who are asking, "Is the nation ready for a woman
Vice President?" [NATION, June 4], I say, "Try it." To have a woman
Vice President, or for that matter a black President, could have better
effects than people think.

Nominating a woman for Vice President in order to get votes still reeks
of exploiting women. Cannot the candidate's skill and integrity be the
basis for the choice?
